Guide To Teleportation

Need to get to Bastok quick? Is there something very important going on in Crawler’s Nest, but you are in Windurst? I’m here to go over some basic and advanced traveling techniques that will help you move through the world with ease. Some of my techniques involve you doing some leg work prior to opening these shortcuts. The more you play though, the more you will realize just how effective and time efficient these can be.

Let’s start with the basic traveling methods. First off, and these are the easiest to do, are the outposts. All you need to do is speak to one of the gate guards in your city that can cast signet on you. There is an option for doing a supplies quest run. Now your options for regions will be limited to the ones your nation controls. You will be allowed to do one run per game day. Once you’ve got your supplies, head to the outpost in that region. Talk to the person there and he will take the supplies and you will earn conquest points in the process. From there, you can now teleport back to your home nation. From here on out, if someone has control of this outpost(your nation or another) you can use it to get to and from your home nation. So let’s say you need to get to Crawler’s Nest from your home nation. If you’ve gotten the outpost for the Derfland region, you can outpost to the northern part of Pashlow Marshalnds. From there, it’s maybe a 5 minute walk to Crawler’s Nest. This now brings me to the next form of transportation, Teleports.

Teleports go hand in hand with a lot of outpost traveling. While on White Mage(or subbing white mage, or be in a party with someone as whm) I can be in the deepest ugliest place on the planet. But in 2 moves, I can be in my home city. If you’ve gotten the outpost for the Valdeaunia region, you can simply cast Teleport-Vahzl, and run 60 seconds to the outpost guy. From there, he will warp you to your home. Another nice one is to cast Teleport-Altep and then chocobo down to the outpost guy in the south west corner of the map. Viola, you are back at your home nation.

Now we will look at some of the more advanced tricks to traveling. Teleports can also get you to Bastok in 3 simple steps. Make sure you can Teleport-Altep and Escape. Then head to Altepa and chocobo to Korroloka Tunnel. Once inside Korroloka, cast escape on your party. The results will put you in Zerhun Mines, a 60 second walk will lead you into Bastok. Having WHM leveled to at least 38 or 41 will help a lot with your travels. Also, leveling Black Mage to at least 17 has its advantages.

Black Mages get the spell Warp at level 17. This spell sends you to your home point. Many times I have subbed BLM on any job just so I could warp myself back to my home point after doing something(mostly missions and quests where no intense fighting is involved) Black Mages also get the spell Escape at level 29. This spell(works only in dungeons) will send you to a point outside of the dungeon you are in. This spell(like mentioned above) is useful in getting to Palborough Mines and moving through Oldton Movalpolos. For example, if you want to get to Palborough Mines quickly, cast Teleport-Dem. Once there, grab a chocobo and ride to Gusgen Mines. Once inside, walk to Oldton and once inside there, cast Escape. This will shoot you out into North Gustaberg and maybe a 2-3 minute walk to Palborough Mines. Now how about moving from city to city?

One nice thing that was added recently was a person, in each starting city, who will warp you to Whitegate for a small 300gil fee and by completing an easy quest. I was able to change my home point back to my home nation for the first time in 3 years. In Whitegate, there are two Tarutaru brothers who will warp you. One is a master and requires an Imperial Silver Piece. He can send you to either Ru’Lude Gardens in Jeuno or your home nation. The other Tarutaru is not as skilled as his brother. He will send you to either Ru’Lude Gardens, Sauromugue Champaign, Batallia Downs, or Rolanberry Fields. Now, if Whitegate has the Astral Candescence, he will put you close to the city. If Whitegate does not, expect to run across those zones.

As my character progressed, I made sure I got my Chocobo license right away at level 20. Having this option helps with your traveling not only from cities, but from chocobo rentals everywhere. Being able to go to the middle of Yhoator Jungle and have a bird waiting for you now is so helpful. The more missions you complete, the more that can open up to you. Getting to Tavnazian Safehold from an outpost, through Al’Taieu, or using a ring makes doing things in the city that much easier.

These are some of the basic traveling techniques that use frequently. There are many more out there but I will let you find those ones yourself. That is of course the spirit of an MMO and this game, adventure.
